I have a clean installation of Windows 7 on my Dell Xps 16 (Specs in sig). A couple of days ago when I restarted the computer check disk ran even though I didn't schedule it. I thought it was convenient, so I let it run. I was on the phone, because I knew it was going to take long. When I came back to check on it, it stopped on "Press anykey to stop check disk, 1 sec left" etc. I believed it froze, because my hard drive indicator light wasn't on. I restarted it and it did the same thing and whenever I press a key it won't stop the disk check, just stopping at 1 sec again. Having me to restart my laptop twice to achieve the operation of getting past it. Any help on how to fix this annoying horrible issue? This never happened to me in Vista.
Things I have tried to do to counteract and fix this issue:
- Going to my local C drive and issuing a check disk on the next schedule myself to see if it will load and it still fails.
- Restoring my lappy to a previous state in time, still same issue.
- Left lappy on overnight to see if check disk actually did it's job and no still stuck at 1 sec.
-
First of all run diskcheck with /r parameter which will repair any error on the HD.
-
How do I do that?
-
When command prompt opens check whether it says: C:\Users\Your_Username\
Type in chkdsk /r and it will ask if you want to schedule checkdisk when computer is restarted and type Y.
Do the same for all drives/ partitions, probably you will not need to schedule it at next startup as it will run immediately, it should run the check on all drives and the problem will go away. -
